Data Processing

The personal data requested, where applicable, shall solely consist of such data that is strictly necessary to identify and address the request made by the owner thereof, hereinafter the interested party. This information will be processed loyally, legally and transparently regarding the interested party. On the other hand, the personal data will be collected for certain explicit and legal purposes, not being used otherwise to said purposes.

The data collected from each interested party will be appropriate, pertinent and not excessive in relation to the corresponding purpose for each case, and will be updated as long as is necessary.

The owner of the data will be informed, prior to the collecting of their data, of the general points regulated in this policy so that they can provide their express, concise and unequivocal consent to the processing of their data, according to the following aspects.

Purposes of the processing.

The explicit purposes for which each processing is carried out are presented in the informative clauses incorporated in each one of the data acquisition channels (web forms, paper forms, verbally or by letter and informative notices).

However, the personal data of the interested party will be processed for the exclusive purpose of providing them with an effective response and addressing the requests put forward by the user, specified together with the option, service, form or data acquisition system that the owner uses.

Legitimacy

As a general rule, prior to the processing of personal data, FUNDACIÓ UNIVERSITARIA BALMES, obtains the express and unequivocal consent from the owner thereof through the incorporation of informed consent clauses in the different data acquisition systems.

However, in the case that the consent of the interested party is not required, the legal basis for the processing which covers FUNDACIÓ UNIVERSITARIA BALMES, is the existence of a law or specific regulation that authorises or demands the processing of the data of the interested party.

Recipients

As a general rule, FUNDACIÓ UNIVERSITARIA BALMES,  does not transfer or communicate the data to third party entities, except if legally required to do so. However, in the case that this were necessary, the interested party would be notified of these data transfers or communications through the informed consent clauses contained in the different personal data acquisition channels.

Origin

As a general rule, the personal data is always collected directly from the interested party. However, in certain circumstances, the data can be collected via third parties, entities or services other than the interested party. In this sense, this point will be transferred to the interested party through the informed consent clauses contained in the different data acquisition channels and within a reasonable time frame, once the data is obtained, and within a maximum period of one month.

Retention periods

The data collected from the interested party will be conserved for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the personal data was collected, so that, once the purpose is fulfilled, the data will be cancelled. This cancellation will give rise to a block on the data, solely conserving it for Public Administration, Judges and Courts, to address possible liabilities arising from the processing, during the prescription period of the same, and having surpassed the mentioned period the data will be destroyed.
